"We also note Mr. Chamberlain's confirmation that Britain and America aro playing the same gamo against Japan." - The Berlin newspapers without exception abuse Mr. Chamberlain and praise Poland's restraint, declaring that it needs iron insolence to condone antiGerman excesses well known to Britaiij.
